http://www.cardplayer.com/poker-tournaments/4554-cppt-ii-bestbet-jacksonville-may/1102487/live-updatesZo Karim Sends One to the RailWe missed the exact action, but a player got the last of his roughly 10,000 chips into the middle against Zo Karim on a flop of K[[suit:spade]]10[[suit:spade]]9[[suit:diamond]]. Karim showed J[[suit:spade]]J[[suit:diamond]] and was in the lead against his opponent's Q[[suit:spade]]9[[suit:spade]].
The turn was the A[[suit:club]] and the river was the 6[[suit:diamond]] to keep Karim's hooks in the lead, eliminate a player, and leave the field with just 15 players.

Action folded back around to Ryan Sheehan, who moved all in over the top and everybody else got out of the way.
Davis showed A[[suit:diamond]]7[[suit:diamond]] and needed to find an ace against Sheehan's K[[suit:diamond]]K[[suit:club]]. The board ran out 10[[suit:spade]]10[[suit:heart]]4[[suit:spade]]J[[suit:heart]]9[[suit:spade]] and Sheehan's cowboys held up to scoop the pot and chip up to 86,000.

The big blind showed 9[[suit:heart]]9[[suit:club]] and Karim was behind with A[[suit:diamond]]9[[suit:spade]].
